Which is why there is no real “emerging market” for EVs in the United States as much as there’s an industrial policy in place that props up EVs with government purchases, propaganda, endless state subsidies, cronyism, taxpayer-backed loans, and edicts. The green “revolution” is an elite-driven, top-down technocratic project.
And it’s increasingly clear that the only reason giant rent-seeking carmakers are so heavily invested in EV development is that government is promising to artificially limit the production of gas-powered cars.
I like EVs tbh in theory anyway
Here what I love about my model Y
Is it for poor people? No. Still to expensive. But when I was in China a few years ago you could get a military looking three wheel electric vehicle that went 40 mph for like 800$. We could drive from the village to the city like 30 minutes and buy some coffee and come back so it can be if you gut regulation and take all the fancy safety features away.
